next to someone who looks obliging and who
DOES have one.

Overcoming Barriers to Educational
Technology Adoption
Presenter: Dr. Patricia Reid
Manager of
Innovations in Technology
and Learning
Purdue University
Time, Date, and Location: 10:15 - 11:15 a.m.,
Friday, March 13, BCH 124
In this presentation we will review the
categories and types of barriers that faculty
face in adopting technologies. As a group we
will identify those we feel we can influence or
control. We will then brainstorm on strategies
we can use. We will end with a review of
Roger’s theories on the stages of adoption and
how this may impact our plans.
